    Yes - fair result in the end. I agree with comments above : our passing was poor but credit to Brighton who were well drilled snd defended well.
    With hindsight leave Isak on in the middle and leave Barnes on the bench - he was really off it today.

    Bit of a lackluster performance from us which is a shame for the last home game.

    It is but we'll need to play an awful lot better in our two remaining games.

    Luckily, our away form is stellar...

    Sadly threw away a great chance to pretty much seal european football but lets hope it was just an off day and we go and beat Manure on wednesday also Forest pretty much safe now so sadly Chelsea should have it pretty easy tonight.

    True but on today’s showing they won’t have it easy at Brighton on Wedneday.

    Beating Man Yoo is the memory I want to take into the Summer. Disapointing this and the Palace game.

    Already one nil Chelsea.

    Wood had an easy chance to lob the 'keeper but thought he was playing for us.

    Flat performance yesterday, no real cutting edge and too often we gave space in the middle for them to run into and backed off them as they ran into it.

    They played well, had the better chances so overall a point was the best we could have got… just disappointing to see the last home game be such a damp squib.

    2 games left to secure 6th, think the players will bring it home with maximum points and good performances.

    It seemed that part of the problem yesterday was the gap between the back 4 and the midfield which was what caught us out in our run of poor performances. Fernandez will be back for Man U and that's the sort of situation he'll thrive on.

    Can’t see Howe missing it though, and think a few things will work in our favour.

    Man Utd probably have the same issue as us, their central defense is slow (we miss Schar adding the pace to Burn’s presence), so at worst we’ll both have the same issue.

    Joelinton has got to start, which immediately improves our midfield massively… and I’d have our midfield and forward line over theirs everyday of the week… so if we both have the same issue, then I’d bet on us to come out on top.

    I think if we get after them from the first whistle to the last we’ll comfortably win.
